Our thoughts

One remote for the everyday gear around your TV, without adding a hub: the U3 controls your TV, soundbar and streamer over IR and Bluetooth, and learns RF 433/315 commands.

Macros turn a single press into a whole sequence, such as TV on, soundbar on and the right input. It pairs with up to three Bluetooth devices at once, with air mouse and Google voice search on supported devices, and charges over USB-C.

Price does not include programming or programming support. SofaBaton remotes are designed for easy DIY setup. If you need help programming yours, we offer this as a separate paid service.

Sofabaton U3 Universal Remote with One-Touch Macros

The Sofabaton U3 replaces the everyday remote clutter around your TV. It controls your TV, soundbar and streaming box from one backlit remote with a 2.4" screen, with no separate hub to set up.

Build macros in the app so a single button turns on the TV, powers the soundbar and switches to the right input. For streaming, the U3 pairs with up to three Bluetooth devices at once, with air mouse for on-screen cursors and Google voice search on supported devices.

Key features

  • IR and Bluetooth (BLE/BT) control, plus RF 433/315 learning from compatible RF remotes
  • Up to 3 Bluetooth LE devices at the same time
  • Up to 100 one-touch macros
  • Air mouse for compatible Bluetooth interfaces
  • Google Built-in Voice support on Bluetooth devices that natively support Google Assistant
  • 2.4" LCD with wake-on-lift
  • 1200mAh rechargeable battery via USB-C, up to 3 weeks per charge (Sofabaton figure, varies with use)
  • Optional charging dock and R1 IR repeater (sold separately)

Good to know: the U3 sends infrared directly to your equipment, so it needs line of sight. For devices inside cabinets, add the optional R1 Repeater.

Specifications

  • Control: IR / Bluetooth / RF learning
  • Control modes: Device Mode and Macro Mode
  • Screen: 2.4" LCD
  • Battery: 1200mAh Li-Polymer, USB-C charging
  • Dimensions: 223 x 51.5 x 16.2 mm
  • Weight: 143 g
